History
Settled by a group of scientists, aquatic harvesters and fishermen. The planet was first surveyed approximately 100 years ago, by one of the first major coreward expansion survey missions. Planet was not deemed to be suitable for colonization, because of it's small amount of harvestable land. However, it's scientific value drew a large number of marine biologists, as well as aquatic farmers/harvesters/fishermen. Colony size has remained stable since, not significantly increasing or decreasing since the initial colonization effort, hovering around 10,000.
Economy
Latinum-based. Heavily focused on the fishing and harvesting industry. No mineral resources to speak of, nor any major industries.
Tech Level
Late 24th Century. (close to modern)
Culture
None to speak of. A typical isolated agricultural and scientific colonial mixture.
Notes
Most of the colonists live in isolated communities on smaller islands, with about 1,000 living in the Aquinis Settlement. There are several underwater settlements, though most are simply homesteads for aquatic harvesters. Nearly everyone on the planet does a small amount of harvesting, farming, or fishing in order to support the colony, including scientists.
Fairly isolated from the rest of the Federation, but maintains regular contact through subspace, as well as freighter shipments and stopovers. Contact also maintained through the local DOCA office, located in Aquinis Settlement.
